...Ian Proops In the chapter of the Critique of Pure Reason entitled “The Paralogisms of Pure Reason” Kant seeks to explain how rationalist philosophers, including thinkers of the caliber of Descartes and Leibniz, could have arrived at what he considers to be certain erroneous, “dogmatic” conclusions...

... of the first part of his big book, much of the value of the work he has done to that point lies in the light it sheds on Kant's notoriously obscure chapter on the Paralogisms in the Critique of Pure Reason ( CPR , Kant 1926 [1781/1787] ; all quotations from Kant are from this work 1 ). I will focus...

... cognition of the nature of the soul is impossible, as the Paralogisms have established. According to Dyck, in the Appendix Kant thus endorses “the method and substance of his pre-critical rational psychology” and this “amounts to a profound, and unexpected, vindication of the doctrine, and method, of his...

... of Longuenesse's interpretation that marks it out as special is the very detailed way in which she pursues to locate the actual paralogist inference in the first paralogism about the alleged substance of the thinking ‘I’ in the A edition: often the ambiguity is thought to lie in the middle term, but Longuenesse...

In line with its documentary nature, the Acad- emy edition includes in separate volumes the complete second edition and the first half of the first edition, through the Paralogisms of Pure Reason, of the first Critique. By contrast, the present edition-translation follows...

... in the Paralogisms of Pure Reason, according to which the rational metaphysicians confused the merely logical/syntactical properties of “I” in its function as the logical subject of the proposition “I think,” for real properties of an object available to pure thinking. The counterpart of that negative argument...

... Wolffian, and one could also make the case that the conception of immortality behind the Paralogisms, as well as the conception of God at issue in the Ideal of Pure Reason, particularly insofar as God has arranged for the proportional reward of virtue in the afterlife, are thoroughly informed by non...

...- tributes to my sense that the paradox continues to haunt the account. Nonetheless this book can be studied profitably by advanced students of the Cn’tique as a commentary on the central arguments of the Transcendental Analytic, along with the Paralogisms. In the case of each argument, Keller...

... a negative enterprise. Speculative metaphysics ventures beyond the bounds of sense into the sphere of nonsense. Reason is thus in need of stern Prussian discipline, which it encounters in the Dialectic. There Kant shows that traditional metaphysics inevitably leads to dead-end paralogisms, self-defeating...
